TF Financial Corporation Reports Improved First Quarter 2012 Results and Quarterly Dividend

NEWTOWN, Pa., April 26, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TF Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:THRD) today reported net income of $1,155,000 ($0.42 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2012, an 87% increase when compared with $618,000 ($0.23 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2011. The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share, payable May 15, 2012 to shareholders of record on May 8, 2012.

"The main developments during the first quarter involved significant progress moving problem loans through the resolution pipeline and disposing of commercial real estate we had been holding following foreclosures. Late in the quarter we closed on the sales of two large such properties. Consequently, foreclosed property declined to $10.2 million at quarter end, and total non-performing assets were at 3.48% of total assets, continuing a downward trend from 3.56% at year end 2011 and 4.25% at the end of the first quarter a year ago," said Kent C. Lufkin, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"Quarterly net income nearly doubled year-over-year, the net interest margin declined slightly but remained at a healthy 3.78%, and notably, our capital ratios continue to be quite strong, with Tier 1 Leverage and Total Risk-Based ratios of 10.14% and 18.23% at March 31," Lufkin said.

Results for the current quarter included:

  • Pre-tax income was $1,473,000 for the quarter, an increase of $783,000 over the first quarter of 2011. The key drivers of this increase were a $400,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses and a $498,000 increase in non-interest income, mainly the result of a $207,000 increase in the gain on sale of loans and a $264,000 gain related to an eminent domain matter affecting a parcel of Company property.
  • Net interest income was $5,792,000 which was a $24,000 or 0.4% decrease when compared with the first quarter of 2011. Similarly, the Company's net interest margin decreased by 2 basis points to 3.78% from 3.80%. The yields on the Company's interest-earning assets fell by 37 basis points for the first quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2011, mainly due to the consequences of record-low market interest rates which have occurred since the first quarter of 2011, causing mortgage loan borrowers to refinance their higher rate loans into those with lower rates and the resulting downward drift in the Company's loan and mortgage-backed securities yields. However, the cost of the Company's interest bearing liabilities improved by 37 basis points since the first quarter of 2011, primarily the result of a 31 basis point or 28.7% improvement in the cost of deposits, due to a favorable change in the deposit pricing and mix, and the maturity of time deposits which had been originated during periods of higher market interest rates. 
  • The provision for loan losses was $500,000 for the quarter compared with $900,000 for the first quarter of 2011. The allowance for loan losses stood at approximately $7.0 million at March 31, 2012, and while the allowance has decreased as amounts which had been assigned to specific loans are charged off, the allowance as a percentage of loans was a healthy 1.40% and as a percentage of non-performing loans was 50.3%. 
  • Overall, asset quality continued to show improvement with total non-performing assets at 3.48% of total assets, down from 3.56% at year end 2011 and 4.25% at March 31, 2011. Non-performing loans were $13.9 million at quarter end compared with $12.5 million at December 31, 2011. Foreclosed property at March 31, 2012 was $10.2 million compared with $11.7 million at December 31, 2011. 
  • Loans outstanding were $498.4 million, a $4.4 million or 0.9% decrease for the first quarter of 2012. Mortgage loans originated for sale were $15.9 million compared with $5.8 million for the first quarter of 2011. 
  • At quarter end, total deposits were $562.2 million, a $10.9 million or 2.0% increase when compared with December 31, 2011, and a $14.4 million or 2.6% increase when compared with $547.8 million at March 31, 2011. 
  • Non-interest expenses were $91,000 higher in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011. Expenses of foreclosed property were $287,000 for the first quarter of 2012 compared with $61,000 for the first quarter of 2011.
